tthibo / Census Geo Header Parser
Created January 29, 2011 21:47
The beginning of a script to parse the geo header files for Census redistricting data.
#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
This script parses a Census geo header file and converts it to a csv.
It's just a bare start. Hopefully it's the germ of something.
Eventually, it could be used to populate database tables instead.
Currently the sample AL files and the geo header are both from Census 2000:
http://www2.census.gov/census_2000/datasets/redistricting_file--pl_94-171/
The geo header fields for Census 2010 are slightly different, but the same approach will work for them if we update the data dictionary.
